I am going to get my older comp working but I'm having a problem. I recently took out my 9800 PRO of my old rig and put it in my new rig. I installed a new crap card (Chaintec 5200 128mb) and I hooked everything up. I turn on the computer and everything seems to be working fine, but the monitor ain't getting no signal. I am not sure what is going on. Anyone got any ideas?
 
Sounds like the video card has gone caput. If you can, stick the 9800 back in and see if it works again.
 
"ain't getting no signal" huh? So according to your sentence, your computer is working fine. But for the sake of helping you, try reseating your AGP card as well as your RAM sticks.

The computer powers on, everything seems to be work (I went into the case everything seems to be fine) so the problem must be the video card. I will try and switch my video card and swapping my ram.

(btw thanks for repeating what I said in my first post)
 
Come on guys, less sass and more help.

Aside from reseating, try clearing CMOS (hell if I know why, but sometimes it fixes issues like yours) and make sure you actually have everything plugged in.
 
Alright got it working. Used SocceRich20 advice. Switched the RAM and reseated the GPU.
 
Glad I could help. Don't take offense to my correction your grammar, I'm just messing with you. Enjoy that comp now!
